Mayor Bloomberg said if the OWS protesters come back, there will be no more tents, sleeping bags, public defecation or harassment of local businesses (“Time’s Up, Children,” Editorial, Nov. 15).

Bloomberg pushed the patience of law-abiding citizens a little too far. This flagrant violation of our city’s laws and statutes should have ended weeks ago.

Protest is one thing; anarchy is another. Protest is an American rite of passage, and anarchy is one of the things that America was founded to fight.

City officials lost sight of that, and the protesters never understood the difference.

I went to bed in Brooklyn and awoke in Libya or another Third World country where the people have no rights and the atmosphere is filled with the stench of violent police officers set loose upon sleeping, peaceful protesters.

What happened to constitutional rights?

Bloomberg has created a war between the people and “the man,” and I am sure that it will only get worse.

Michael Moore claims to fully support the protesters, so he should offer his space for their sleeping, eating and defecating needs.

This would satisfy his conscience and help clean up lower Manhattan.

While I fully support their cause, it was always evident that OWS was using 20th-century methods against a 21st-century enemy.

Their effort was admirable, and they succeeded in awakening Americans to unethical practices. Now they should go home and use the tools of their generation to continue the fight.

The corporations that destroyed our economy are unfazed by sit-ins, but the big banks quickly abandoned their intention to impose fees on debit cards once they saw the real threat of a major account exodus.

Well-organized boycotts over social networking sites will bring them to their knees.

Use your dollars to make change.

It is about time that the mayor allowed the NYPD to do what needed to be done in Zuccotti Park.

I just hope people don’t start second guessing or criticizing the NYPD for its actions and response.

It’s not easy dealing with self-proclaimed anarchists. Some will go to any extreme to get attention.

It’s unfortunate that other newspapers have had nothing but empathy for the protesters.

I’m thrilled the city finally evicted the protesters in Zuccotti Park. Now keep them out!

I am a displaced employee after working for a major US company for over 21 years.

There is work out there for those who want it. Most of these people are lazy, out-of-town groupies who have nothing better to do than jump on the bandwagon — not realizing that their antics are in vain.

Wall Street and its employees went to work every day and did just fine without even glancing at these leeches.

Occupy Wall Streeters, do not surrender!

Pack your garbage, get your free flu shots and condoms, buy your weed, ask Mommy and Daddy for a raise in your allowance and then head north in Manhattan and play camp in front of Scott Stringer or Jimmy Breslin’s place of residence.
